It would be nice to know the details of these antibodies. What do they bind to? Have they been associated with other diseases?
Various sources describe how salt affects cell membranes: it induces membrane depolarization, reduces stability, and other changes.
What about testing to see if any metabolic abnormalities are present? I've heard about urine organic acid tests. Is this the kind of thing that...
It feels like that for me too. Some of it might be an overcompensation due to impending hypoglycemia, which causes hunger. The hypoglycemia is...
I could come up with some specific questions but there's nothing that clearly suggests an important nutritional problem in my case (as far as I...
Re. NIH and a documentary. One could interview Nath or Whittemore once they have published the findings from the NIH intramural study. It would be...
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3154208/ It's very relevant to the CBT studies in ME. It compared the effect of medication, placebo,...
I did some simple calculations once and the economic losses caused by ME/CFS are so vast that even achieving a few percent reduction after 10...
It seems intuitive to me that the right amount will be good, and too much will be bad. The right amount will vary between individuals. Yet the...
Male/female differences in the illness might also map to different susceptibility loci on the X and Y chromosomes.
I don't understand cell biology well but a problem with the sodium-potassium pump has been proposed by Scheibenbogen and it sounds like the kind...
Possible but maybe the FOXP4 association is more with the subtypes of Long Covid that are quite distinct from ME/CFS, like hospitalized patients...
Some more thoughts on why I think it could be genes related to recovery from exercise and stressors in general: The fact that ME/CFS is so poorly...
I felt like writing about this. In my opinion ME/CFS is probably a label for several different poorly understood illnesses that happen to share...
If I look at that study of asthma patients treated intentionally with a placebo and real medication, and then at CBT for ME, I can not see much of...
Brian Hughes would also be a good speaker, with the right credentials.
@InitialConditions I think it's important to mention that the alleged positive effects may be an illusion of a biased clinical trial design. And...
McArdle's disease has a characteristic "second wind phenomenon" where progressive fatigue and muscle weakness appears during the first 15 minutes...
Knowing the specific pathways that contribute to causing ME/CFS could be very valuable.
Thanks. While the effect is larger than that reported by Wessely, this doesn't save the study because this is an unreliable and unorthodox method...
